(Oslo, 6 March 2017) Nel Hydrogen Solutions, a division of Nel ASA (Nel,
OSE:NEL) has been awarded a contract by H2 Frontier Inc. for a H2Station®
hydrogen fueling station to be installed in Los Angeles, California.
"It is great to be trusted with equipment delivery from yet another leading
hydrogen fueling company in California. The increasing need for higher capacity
stations also underlines the ongoing successful rollout of hydrogen vehicles in
this important state", says Jacob Krogsgaard, Senior Vice President of Nel
Hydrogen Solutions.
The H2Station® will replace existing equipment at a hydrogen fueling station in
Los Angeles, operated by H2 Frontier Inc. with the aim of providing more fueling
capacity and improved performance. The effort is supported by the South Coast
Air Quality Management District.
This contract expands Nel's market entry into California by adding a station
into the Los Angeles area, south in the state, shortly after being awarded the
contract to deliver a network of hydrogen fueling stations in Northern
California by Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
"We are now moving forward at full speed to finalize the pre-certification of
our H2Stations to the US market. As we have seen in Europe, this enables a
significantly more streamlined permitting and installation process, and
contributes in setting a new industrial norm and benchmark for safety level and
legal compliance for hydrogen fueling stations. Being the first in the market to
offer such a certification has given us a competitive advantage in the US
market", Krogsgaard concludes.
The contract has a total value of more than USD 1 million with expected
installation of equipment during early 2018 with shipment towards the end of
2017.
